The objective of our thesis is a formulation of QFTCS from the viewpoint of ED. This contribution builds off of a period of sustained effort within the ED program in which several aspects of the quantum formalism have been reconstructed — including theories of non-relativistic scalar particles [1]}[2]}; particles with half-integer spin [3]}; and, relativistic scalar fields [4]}[5]}. But the singular focus on flat space-time that dominates these developments stands in some contrast to the rather more ambitious goals of the ED program: to ultimately formulate quantum gravity from within the framework of inference and information processing. Here we make inroads on these loftier aims by re-examining and revising the constraints and assumptions of ED in flat space-time in light of the transition to more general, curved space-times.
